Seronera Wildlife Lodge

Guests have two choices when deciding how to get to Seronera Wildlife Lodge. The first option is to fly into either Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport, stay overnight in Arusha City, and then be driven 325km or 8 hours to Seronera Wildlife Lodge.

Alternatively, guests can avoid the bumpy Tanzanian roads by taking an internal flight from Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport to the Seronera Airstrip, a 90-minute flight and only a 5-minute drive from Seronera Airstrip to the Seronera Wildlife Lodge.

The Seronera Wildlife Lodge is deep in the heart of Central Serengeti. The Seronera River provides a constant water source for residents and visiting wildlife, including various colorful bird species. The dense riverine landscape forest along the river provides excellent cover for the predatory leopard. The lodge’s super-central location also means that guests can start early on their daily game drives to get the most from their safari experience. The Serengeti is characterized by endless open plains and rocky outcrops (kopjes), acacia forest, and scrubland. This is excellent habitat for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and myriad impala and Grant’s gazelle. Lions are also frequent visitors to this area.

Poor network coverage in the parking area may mean the card machine is not always working. Most of the time, you can use US Dollars in Tanzania, particularly in tourist areas, and major credit cards are accepted at most hotels, lodges, and camps. However, we advise having some local currency on you if you want to purchase from a local shop. Major towns and airports have forex bureaus where you can exchange most major currencies such as US Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, etc.

A balloon safari is a truly unique way to view our wildlife. It lasts between 45 minutes and one hour, depending on the wind. It is available to those seven years and older. It involves an early start, around 3 am, to allow the balloon to take off around 6 am. The age limit for this activity is seven years and above. A third-party company will run the trip, and you will celebrate with a glass of champagne and a full English breakfast. You will also be given a certificate.
